PFAFF® Free-Motion / Darning Foot (J) - 413039601

PFAFF® Free-Motion / Darning Foot (J)

The PFAFF® Free-Motion / Darning Foot is designed for free-motion sewing, embroidery and darning. It allows you to move the fabric freely in any direction while the feed dogs are lowered, making it ideal for free-motion quilting, decorative stitching, thread painting and repairing or reinforcing fabric.

The open working area provides good visibility around the needle, while the foot helps maintain control as you move the fabric to create your design.

Key Features

• Designed for free-motion sewing, embroidery and darning

How to Use

1. Raise the Needle: Make sure the needle is in its highest position.
2. Attach the Foot: Squeeze the front and back of the Darning Foot together and insert the foot's pin as far as possible into the hole at the back of the presser foot holder.
3. Position the Guide: Place the C-shaped guide around the presser bar, ensuring the long arm is positioned behind the needle clamp. Tighten the screw securely.
4. Lower the Feed Dogs: Lower the feed dogs according to your machine's instructions.
5. Use an Embroidery Hoop: For additional stability, the project can be placed in a round embroidery hoop.
6. Select Free-Motion Sewing: Choose a straight stitch and activate the free-motion function, or place the presser foot in the darning/free-motion position.
7. Begin Sewing: Pull the bobbin thread to the top and take a few stitches to secure the thread. Clip the thread ends close to the project and continue sewing.

Tip: With the feed dogs lowered, you control the stitch length by moving the fabric. Maintain an even, medium-to-fast sewing speed for more consistent stitches. Sewing too slowly may cause small knots to form on the underside of the fabric.
